“…Morphogenesis and elongation of the GC body and its CP are unique features of angiosperms. However, both developmental processes are regulated independently based on the analysis of multiple mutant alleles of DUO1 (Rauf et al, 2023 ). In that paper, we have shown that the male gametophyte bicellular pollen mutants ( duo1–1 , duo1–2 , duo1–3 , duo1–4 , cdka;1, fbl17 )/( daz1 daz2, duo2, duo3 ‐Rauf, 2017 ) form the CP, while here we confirmed the presence of MGU association, which exclude their potential role in this assemblage.…”
